Background about Gustavo Rodriguez

Just like every other cartoonist in this planet, Gustavo Rodriguez began drawing as a child.

His cartooning career “started” in 1986 in his hometown of Havana, Cuba when one of his comic strips was printed in a monthly magazine under the pen name of Garrincha. After that, his works began to appear in several Cuban publications.

Many hundreds of cartoons later, as well as exhibitions and some awards in international contests, he left Cuba for good and came to the United States in 2005. He currently contributes to El Nuevo Herald newspaper as well as two other internet publications.
